Hey /ck/, how do I make a cake?
I want to make one without using a premade mix, but am not quite sure how to do it without fuckig it all up.
Also, can you make cake dough or bake a cake in a bread machine?

Yeah, don't use the premade mixes.
You can try making pannetone-like cakes in a bread machine by adding candied and dried fruits to your mix.

>cake dough
Son; if you're going to experiment with cake batter in a bread maker, go with a pre-mixed box because it's cheaper for that purpose. Don't fill your bread maker more than halfway with batter, otherwise you'll end up with a terrible mess.

Follow a recipe. By which I mean FOLLOW THE RECIPE. Do not change things, do not improvise, baking is not something you fuck with easily.

On the contrary… follow the recipe FIRST, then change things and see how it screws up the result.
That's how we science.

Basically this. Baked goods require more precise measurements than other cooking, but in exchange once you know what you can fuck with, it's almost like a science.

Reviving this thread, for the purpose of looking for recipes.
What are some simple /ck/-tier cake recipes that aren't "add a thousand ingredients" to make it taste good? Last cake I had was dry and tasted weird as fuck, so what's something simpler.
